How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh carrots
- Fresh carrots will have a characteristic dark orange color, bright color, smooth skin, not cracked, and feel firm in hand.
- You should choose carrots with fresh green tops, not damaged or wilted. You should opt for long and slim carrots of moderate size, which feel firm when held.
- Avoid buying those with rotten tops and curved bodies. These are old carrots that are difficult to process.
How to choose fresh ginger
- To make delicious ginger jam, you need to choose medium-sized ginger, not too young and not too old. If the ginger is too young, the jam will lack firmness, while old ginger has many fibers and a strong spicy flavor, making the jam less appealing.
- Additionally, you should choose larger ginger roots for better slicing.
